Top Kendal Hotel Reviews

Riverside Hotel

8/10 Good

"There was a wonderfully helpful lady called Debs on the reception"

Days Inn by Wyndham Kendal Killington Lake

8/10 Good

"We stayed in one of the twin rooms overlooking the lake, the view is lovely and worth paying slightly more for if you have the option. You can hear the motorway with the window open, but not at all when the window was closed, so it was actually really quiet at night. Even with the window open, the noise level wasn't that bad (and I'm someone who is sensitive to noise!) My main criticism was that there was a strong smell on entering the room and bathroom, a damp smell I think. And the tray that the mugs & tea bags etc. were on wasn't clean. But apart from that, we were satisfied with our stay. I'd probably stay again, but only if I could get a cheap rate. The person on reception was excellent, and there were free books (for a charitable donation) in reception, which was a nice touch."

Hare & Hounds

10/10 Excellent

"The bedroom and bathroom were lovely, the breakfasts amazing, the staff always happy to help and the location just off the A590 was perfect for exploring the whole Lake District. My only rejoinder was that the stairs to the rooms are a little challenging for someone like me who is mobility impaired. Additional banisters and/or handles would greatly help but I managed overall and we were very happy with our stay. Evening meals were exceptional too. I would rank the Hare and Hounds in Levens as being in the top 1% of bed and breakfast inns I have stayed in out of maybe 150 visited in he past 5 years. Thoroughly recommended!"

Gilpin Bridge Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here one night on our way home to Scotland. The property is easy to find with plenty free parking. Easy check in with helpful, friendly staff. The room was very clean, tea and coffee in the room, everything you need. We had a meal here in the evening and it was delicious. Really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Gilpin Bridge Inn."

Station Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great stay. Highly highly recommend. Staff was excellent. Room is beautiful in a classic quaint way. Felt like the perfect classic Inn experience. We had dinner there. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was a mixture of locals and travelers. Relaxed and welcoming. Breakfast was served, made to order in the same restaurant and was excellent. Great area. Quiet but close to several things. Walking trail across the street allowed us some activity after dinner to a beautiful view if the valley and town. We only wished we had booked it for longer. It was our favorite stay of our 2 week trip. Of note, you check in at the bar. There's an entrance around back or in the front. Just know, there's not a separate check in and you're in the right place."
